    And for those of you who think that an interest rate of 3.1% (before tax) is OK when inflation is knocking on the door of 5%, then I wish you luck in your penury.


    You should have been around during the mid 1970's
    Inflation topped 25% and no, interest rates did not match inflation.

    And not even you are my Mum.

    Are you sure? I could be leading a double life of which you know nothing. All this monkeying around is growing a little tiresome.
    Living for tomorrow might mean that you survive the day after.
    It is always different this time. The only thing that is the same is the outcome.
    Portfolios are like personalities - one that is balanced is usually preferable.

    Go away and gamble. That is what you seem to want to do. No, I am not your Mum because if I was you wouldn't be so rude. I guess we all now know why you are no longer in possession of a wife.

    Rule no1 WAS violated with your trade, but i am happy for you that it came out OK. Despite being rudely treated, we never like to see investors fail really (well maybe the silver bugs lol).
